Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

“With Amazon’s role in ICE ops under greater scrutiny and Bezos’ dismantling of the organ that once proudly declared itself on being a defender of democracy, it’s worth examining how close Amazon and Trump are—& how closely aligned their projects are”

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Befuddled Bessent!
I'm so glad Rep Casten is in Congress.
If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

Trump is refusing to pay sign on bonuses and insurance for new ICE agents. With thousands of ICE agents never having even received a paycheck.

"Over the last year the Post has been involved in almost monthly car wrecks." From July 2025!

The only question - which has gotten easier to answer since - is whether Jeff Bezos is killing it by accident, or on purpose. @jvl.bsky.social from the archives: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Mb8Bks

Time to cancel Amazon Prime.
The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons
NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.

Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

This is, as we know, the problem with "better training and oversight."

It is already a clear violation of DHS/ICE's use of force guidelines to immediately draw and point your firearm at an unarmed person. They know this, and they know the administration will defend their rule-breaking.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them.
